Will you guys keep his jersey or burn it? It seems that it was probably a top seller for Panthers fans for years.

I think I'll keep mine but I don't wear it anymore.

Carolina hosts Chicago this season. You think that game will get hype that week if/when he signs?

It seems like he took the first good deal offered to him. I think he hates Carolina.

Well IMO if he signs with Chicago it has nothing to do with going to a team with a better chance of winning the SB.

Carolina has much more in place than Chicago does as far as winning a SB. Their defense is getting OLD. Adding Peppers IMO doesn't do them much good.

Maybe with Mike Martz as the OC they might do well but that isn't necessarily true. After the Greatest Show on Turf died he was a pass happy fool.

If he signs with Chicago he (his agent) continues to invalidate everything he said before.

He wants to play in the 3-4....sooooo....

Not according to his agent after 2009. He just wanted a contract.

I believe he will fail in a 3-4.

Tweeted before and will tweet it again: barring an unexpected breakdown, Julius Peppers deal will be done with Chicago by this afternoon.

Peppers ran his mouth saying he wanted to be in a 3-4 and his agent reminded him that he should zip it and he'll take the best offer he can get. Oddly enough if he goes to Chicago it ends up being Tampa 2, looks like he just hates Carolina.

What kind of compensatory pick can we get for Peppers?

Peppers is going to have his long sleeve jersey on in October playing in cold, windy a$$ Soldier Field. Not to mention, he will get to make an annual visit to Lambeau as well.

The Bears need a lot. Receiver and O-Line issues along with holes in the defense and questions about Urlacher, etc. Don't see them making the playoffs in that division.
